Subject: Quake through an ipfw firewall?

Just set up my firewall, and so far it's running beautifully. All the
WWW, FTP, etc. traffic seems to be getting through, but Quake II,
Half-Life and GameSpy are rather blocked.
I placed the line "/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake ports=26000, 27910,
27015" into my config script. Right now I have some moderately tight
limits on traffic forwarding. I don't want to throw it wide open,
though; just enough to play. This is one of my current statements...
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -m -a accept -P tcp -S $LOCALNET $UNPRIVPORTS \
-D $ANYWHERE ftp ftp-data www telnet
I tried playing with the port settings and adding udp support, but to
no avail. My question becomes this: is getting out for Quake play just a
matter of adjusting the firewall config, or are there other things to do
as well. I've seen some stuff on the web that suggests that you 'open
ports 5500-5600, 8000-9000, and 1398', but am not quite sure what is
meant by that.
Thanks much...

Unfortunatelly a new kernel complation after using config instead of
xconfig DID NOT solve the problem. So I would be grateful for any

I've been working on this off and on for about a month and it's starting to
bug me. My ISP uses PAP for dialup authentication and I've been trying to
get connected under Redhat 5.2 (2.0.36 kernel, pppd is 2.3.5). After
researching a bit on the web I downloaded the pppsetup script and ran it but
now pppd/chat won't even communicate with my modem. It was dialing and
connecting and then dropping the connection before. In /etc/ppp/options
I've tried setting the modem to /dev/cua1, /dev/modem, and of course what
the pppsetup script set it to. The modem is an external Supra 14.4LC
Faxmodem connected to COM2 (verified, it works in windoze98). Here's what
I'm getting in /var/log/messages:

I'll answer this one first because it's the simplest: Just run a getty
over one of your desktop's serial ports. ' man agetty' or 'man getty' will
get you started there. I prefer agetty personally. You can put your
getty entries into /etc/inittab to start them automagically. Don't forget
to hit enter once when you start your terminal session from the client
machine.

This isn't too hard either, except I would use SLIP instead of PPP.
When I was setting it up in the past, it seemed to be more suited to
peer-to-peer serial lines. Dip is pretty easy to use if you use it in
server mode. Look at the Linux Network Administrator's Guide on LDP and
the dip manpage.
A note on the cable: You should have a "Full Null Modem" cable. These
should be wired all the way through so you can use rtscts.

Anyone have any suggestions for installing (distributing) new
network printers (Samba shares) to many NT stations? We have
hundreds of PCs to upgrade and many printers for each PC.
We have Novell tools (Software distribution) but the systems have
to reboot after distribution (normal printer installs don't require
reboots).
Sysdiff apparently is only available in SMS? (Please correct me if
I'm wrong). I can't find any documentation for it (at least nothing
clearly defined or easily located).

Subject: Bootp and two network IFs
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 07:41:02 GMT
Hi,
I currently hace a problem using BOOTP in my local network.
Here is my system configuration:
- My main linux box is running S.u.S.E Linux (kernel 2.0.33)
- It has an ethernet interface and also connects to the internet via
ISDN (I4L)
Here is my problem:
On my local ethernet, I have attached an embedded system, that
performs BOOTP requests at startup. The BOOTP server on my main linux
box accepts these requests and creates the proper answer. But then it
sends the reply to the ISDN network interface, and not to the ethernet
:-(((
Due to that fault, I currently use another linux box with only one
network interface as bootp server and everything works fine.
I had a look into various docs and found out, that BOOTP seems to send
the reply to the first broadcastable network interface, but ISDN seems
to be a point-to-point connection so I am quite confused...
Does anybody know, how to fix this situation? Is there any way to
change the way the network interfaces are installed?
Many Thanks,
Thomas.

I beg to differ. I finally got my two cards recognized using the lilo.conf
method of initializing the cards. Unless I am mistaken, my drivers are not
directly compiled into the kernel. I.e., it is an out of the box installation
of TurboLinux 1.0 and during the installation, I specifically skipped auto-
probing and loading of my network card drivers.
Works like a charm.
BUT, it is very important to mention, another thing I did to REALLY make the
bad boy work in its entirety (is that how you spell entirety???)
In my /etc/conf.modules I entered the following:
alias eth0 lance
options lance io=0xfce0 irq=11
alias eth1 3c59x
(For some reason, options were REQUIRED to make my lance driver load, while my
3c59x driver REFUSED to work, IF I entered options. Go figure).
Going back to my previously mentioned /etc/lilo.conf set up, here is what I
did: append "ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"
Oh, one more thing, out of the box, both cards shared the same IRQ 11. As
there were no jumpers to let me reset these IRQs, or the necessary
configuration software that everyone claims is shipped with 3com cards, I was
forced to go into the BIOS setup (F2 while the machine boots up), and change
each PCI Bus setting from "Auto-Detect" to my desired settings, in this case
IRQ11 for PCI bus 1, and IRQ10 for PCI bus 3. (PCI Bus 2 was being used by
the monitor and was set to IRQ 9).
Very simple to implement, very difficult to troubleshoot and pin down. Hours
of trial and error, rounds of sleepless nights.
Just for reference, I have an HP Vectra XA, an AMD PCnet PCI network card (the
lance.o driver), and a 3Com 3c905B card (the 3c59x driver).
Whew.

You generally have to run LILO every time, because when LILO builds a
boot block, it writes the current location of the zImage file into it.
When you rebuild the kernel, it's fairly unlikely that this file will be
in the same spot on the disk.
